Mmmm, lemon. One of my favorite flavors. I've always steered clear of making lemony treats like lemon bars for fear of a difficult recipe, but then I happened on Bakerella's recipe and thought, hey I could do this! And so can you. Here's how.
Using a whisk, you will need to mix together 1 c flour, 1 c sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1T lemon zest.
My kids always like to help so I find easy tasks for them. My son, the lemon juicer.
Next, you will need to add the melted (and cooled) 3/4 c butter, 2 eggs, 3 T lemon juice, and 1 tsp vanilla.
Mix it well and pour into a greased 8 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
This recipe has an icing! Yes! Have your child sift 1 1/2 c powdered sugar.
Then add 2 T lemon juice and 1 tsp lemon zest.
Once the lemonies are cool, pour the icing on and let it set. I really liked this icing. I'm thinking it'd be great on cookies, cakes and cupcakes too!
And there you have it, a refreshing lemony treat for your summer!
